The depth and variety of just "What is a WTF?" continues to amaze... Yeah, I liked the "You are the user" tip too, but when the systray icon popped up a bubble to tell me "the operands have been multiplied!" I cracked up.

My god, this is brilliant! The more I use it, the more WTF it actually turns out to be ...

From the simple things like the task bar pop up, to the tips that you can't not show at start up (disabled check box), to the wonderful barmy-ness of the UI and the brain-warping calculating colours, pictures and numbers.

It's simply wonderful and is the best I've seen so far. Well done that man!

Hmm. Two apples + three apples = three apples? The author must live in a world with a hefty apple tax.

That said, this is brilliant. Absurd, almost entirely unusable (I particularly like the way you need to double-click on the numbers to type them in, even once you've assembled yourself a keypad), and definitely WTF.

Anybody who's been lucky enough to use Lotus Notes as a "Memo" client (lotus doesn't do e-mail, that's not enterprisey enough) on a regular basis has been traumatized by it. It makes me cry myself to sleep at night.

Many of the other ones were overly clever, matching code that architects or PHD produce. THis one is much more like what you get in real life. A really stupid app that does what the user asked for so they cant complain , but they know they are not happy. WHen they argue about it the devs say things like
"systray is useful for asynch notification" (jargon)
"we didnt have good specs" (blame the user)
"the one I did for ACME widgets worked this way and they stole our market share" (FUD)
....

Welcome to the world of RGB, mate. I'm afraid your still stuck in grade school here, where the primary colors are red, yellow and blue, and color combinations are based on combining pigments [absorption]. With projective colors, red and green do indeed add up to yellow:
<html>
<head>
<title> Color experiment </title>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: #ffff00;}
</style>
</head>
<body>

The real WTF is that this is the second (of two!) entries that I've tried that don't work in Windows 2000 without visiting the shrine of DLL-Files.com. The OCR one needed VC++ 8 runtime, and this one needs GDIPLUS.DLL (whatever that is).
